We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come. ~ Joseph Campbell Perhaps the earth can teach us, as when everything seems dead and later proves to be alive. ~ Pablo Neruda God is not a ‘being’ removed from creation, ruling it from outside in the manner of a patriarchal ruler; God is the source of being that underlies creation and grounds its nature and future potential for continual transformative renewal in biophilic mutuality. ~ Rosemary Radford Ruether

Loneliness is painful, emotionally and even physically, born from a “want of intimacy” when we need it most, in early childhood. Solitude - the capacity to be contentedly and constructively alone - is built from successful human connection at just that time. ~ Sherry Turkle We’re all a bit scared of loneliness - of being alone. Of being left. Of not being loved. Or needed. Or cared about. “Lonely” hits a spot of fear in all of us even if we don’t acknowledge it. ~ Sue Bourne Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. ~ Viktor Frankl

We’re born to want to be nurtured and valued and loved and to give love. ~ MINDY CORPORON, whose son and father were gunned down outside the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City, Overland Park, Kansas, April 13, 2014 No man is an island. What happens to one, happens to us all, for we are all made of clay and stardust. We share the same moments of time. The universal second hand starts its unforgiving sweep toward the next minute. ~ Sidney Sheldon, The Sky is Falling
